Display apparatus and method for controlling display apparatus thereof

Abstract

A display apparatus which determines a screen to be displayed when a power-on command is input, and method thereof, is provided. The display apparatus includes a display configured to display a content; an input unit configured to receive a command; and a controller configured to: in response to a power-off command being input while a content is displayed, determine whether or not the displayed content is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when a power-on command is input; in response to determining that the displayed content is not appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, store a predetermined initial screen; in response to determining that the displayed content is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when a power-on command is input, store the displayed content; and in response to a power-on command being input, control the display to display the predetermined initial screen or the displayed content.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of controlling a display apparatus, comprising:
 in response to a power-off command being input while a content image is displayed, analyzing the displayed content image; 
 in response to determining, based on an analysis result with respect to the displayed content image, that the displayed content image is not appropriate to be subsequently displayed when a power-on command is input, storing information related to a predetermined initial screen, and 
 in response to determining, based on the analysis result with respect to the displayed content image, that the displayed content image is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, storing information related to the displayed content image; and 
 in response to the power-on command being input, displaying a screen corresponding to one from among the predetermined initial screen when the displayed content is not appropriate and the displayed content image when the displayed content is appropriate; 
 wherein the analyzing the displayed content image comprises: 
 analyzing a color of the displayed content image at a time when the power-off command is input; 
 determining that the displayed content image is appropriate to be displayed when a ratio of an area of a predetermined color on the displayed content image does not exceed a predetermined value; and 
 determining that the displayed content image is not appropriate to be displayed when the ratio of the area of the predetermined color on the displayed content image exceeds the predetermined value. 
 
     
     
       2. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the analyzing comprises analyzing whether the displayed content image includes a mark for viewing restriction. 
     
     
       3. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising determining harmfulness of the displayed content image using at least one from among uniform resource locator (URL) information related to the displayed content image, a file name related to the displayed content image, electronic program guide (EPG) information related to the displayed content image, and subtitle information related to the displayed content image; and
 determining whether or not the displayed content image is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, based on the determination on the harmfulness of the displayed content image. 
 
     
     
       4. The method as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the storing comprises, in response to the determining that the displayed content image is not appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, storing the information related to the predetermined initial screen in a memory, and in response to determining that the displayed content image is appropriate to be displayed when the power-on command is input, storing information related to a last screen of the displayed content image in the memory. 
     
     
       5. The method as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the memory is a volatile memory that is continuously supplied with power. 
     
     
       6. A display apparatus, comprising: a memory;
 a display configured to display a content image; and 
 a processor configured to: 
 in response to a power-off command being input while the content image is displayed, analyze the displayed content image; 
 in response to determining, based on an analysis result with respect to the displayed content image, that the displayed content image is not appropriate to be subsequently displayed when a power-on command is input, store information related to a predetermined initial screen in the memory; 
 in response to determining, based on the analysis result with respect to the displayed content image, that the displayed content image is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, store information related to the displayed content image in the memory; and 
 in response to the power-on command being input, control the display to display a screen corresponding to one from among the predetermined initial screen and the displayed content image by using the stored information related to the predetermined initial screen when the displayed content image is not appropriate, or the stored information related to the displayed content image when the displayed content image is appropriate; 
 wherein the processor is further configured to: 
 analyze a color of the displayed content image at a time when the power-off command is input; 
 determine that the displayed content image is appropriate to be displayed when a ratio of an area of a predetermined color on the displayed content image does not exceed a predetermined value; and 
 determine that the displayed content image is not appropriate to be displayed when the ratio of the area of the predetermined color on the displayed content image exceeds the predetermined value. 
 
     
     
       7. The display apparatus as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the processor analyzes whether the displayed content image includes a mark for viewing restriction. 
     
     
       8. The display apparatus as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the processor determines whether or not the displayed content image is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input using at least one from among uniform resource locator (URL) information of the displayed content image, a file name of the displayed content image, electronic program guide (EPG) information of the displayed content image, and subtitle information of the displayed content image. 
     
     
       9. The display apparatus as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the processor, in response to determining that the displayed content image is not appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, stores the information related to the predetermined initial screen in the memory, and in response to determining that the displayed content image is appropriate to be subsequently displayed when the power-on command is input, stores information related to a last screen of the displayed content image in the memory. 
     
     
       10. The display apparatus as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the memory is a volatile memory that is continuously supplied with power. 
     
     
       11. A method of controlling a display apparatus, comprising:
